Tang Xiu sighed: "They are all the most outstanding cultivation geniuses among the boy scouts. Compared with their peers, they are much more mature mentally. Since ancient times, it has been said that the children of the poor have become masters early. They have lost their relatives since childhood, and have been tempered by the ups and downs of life. , growing up is their way to survive.”
Kang Xia was shocked and said: "They are all street children you adopted? But I can feel that all five of them are at the Foundation Establishment stage! How long has it been? How old are they? How can they break through to the Foundation Establishment stage? Especially Tang Twenty-Eight, he is already at the middle stage of foundation building."
Tang Xiu said: "They can stand out from tens of thousands of boy scouts, so they are naturally very talented in cultivation. In addition, with the continuous supply of cultivation resources, it is still possible for them to break through to the foundation building stage."
Kang Xia showed admiration and sighed: "Tang Xiu, you are getting better and better."
Tang Xiu shook his head and said: "The situation forces me to do my best to cultivate more strong people. The dangers we will face in the future are far beyond your imagination. Only now can we continue to strengthen ourselves and expand our power. Only in the future will you be able to survive a little longer. Kang Xia, although you manage the Shengtang Group, I hope you can spend as much time practicing as possible. Only by becoming stronger can you protect the people you want to protect in the future. "
Kang Xia nodded and said, "I will definitely work hard."
After meal.
Tang Xiu accompanied his mother and chatted with Kang Xia for a while, and then took Tang Erba away from Nanzha Town and came to Chen Zhizhong's residence.
In the classical-style villa building, Chen Zhizhong sat cross-legged, quietly absorbing the aura of heaven and earth. He was too old when he entered the path of cultivation. Although he had a lot of cultivation resources, his progress in cultivation was still slow. So far, he has only reached the early stages of foundation building.
"Master."
Suddenly, Chen Zhizhong opened his eyes and saw Tang Xiu standing quietly in front of him. He suddenly stood up and saluted respectfully.
Tang Xiu nodded and said: "Compared with those cultivation geniuses, your cultivation progress is indeed much slower. You know that compared to the orphans I adopted, you are slightly inferior to the most talented children among them."
Chen Zhizhong said with shame: "This disciple is stupid and has let the master down."
Tang Xiu shook his head and said: "Qualifications are important, and age is also important. I used to have very few resources, so I couldn't help you much. But it's different now. I have obtained a lot of precious medicinal materials this year, and some precious medicinal materials." The alchemy materials can help you solve your qualification problem. However, I still lack a medicinal material and I need you to find it."
Chen Zhizhong was stunned for a moment, then became overjoyed and asked hurriedly: "Master, what other medicinal materials do you need?"
Tang Xiu said: "Dragon bone grass."
Chen Zhizhong frowned and said: "Master, I have never heard of this name. What does its shape look like? What are its obvious characteristics?"
Tang Xiu said: "There are nine buds of Dragon Bone Grass, like willow leaves. There are dots of white dots on it, a bit like a five-star pattern. There is a record of Dragon Bone Grass in the "Compendium of Materia Medica", although it is only It's just a few words, but it plays its role. You are in the medicinal business. Your company has a lot of medicinal materials and a wide range of channels. Take the time to find the dragon bone grass, and I will personally refine a marrow-cleansing pill for you. Once you take it After washing the marrow pill, your body's physique will undergo a completely different change."
Chen Zhizhong said excitedly: "Master, don't worry, as long as there is dragon bone grass in our country, I will find it as soon as possible, no matter how much it costs."
Tang Xiu nodded and said, "When I arrived, I found that you were the only one living here?"
Chen Zhizhong nodded and said: "My son has been staying in Beijing for development, and I have no idea of letting him take over the company for the time being. My parents don't want to come to Star City to live. They are used to life in their hometown, so my wife has been here in the past two years. My hometown takes care of them and they only come back occasionally.”
Tang Xiu nodded and said: "In that case, I will practice something here with you. By the way, I will give you guidance on how to practice."
Chen Zhizhong immediately said: "I will have someone arrange a room for you right away."
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "No need. You just need to have someone clear out the garage. In addition, it will take me several days to refine the weapon. Please tell me to go down and don't let your bodyguards disturb me."
Chen Zhizhong immediately said: "I will order you down immediately. Master, if you need anything, please tell me immediately."
"Um!"
Tang Xiu nodded.
In the next few days, Tang Xiu accompanied his mother during the day and occasionally went to the group company. Every night, he would come to Chen Zhizhong quietly.
Refining weapons.
It is regarded as a kind of identity token, but every piece of token that is refined also has a protective effect, similar to an amulet. However, this kind of token can only activate body protection once when the owner is in danger. Then it loses its protective effect.
In a few days, Tang Xiu refined a total of ten thousand tokens, which he named Tang Zongling. It is the identity certificate of a descendant of the Tang clan.
at the same time.
He is still paying attention to the situation on Kowloon Island. In recent days, more and more ships have appeared near Desert Island No. 9, and various forces have been active frequently. Some of the hostile forces have even fought in the waters near Desert Island No. 9. Although the scale of the fighting was not large, dozens of people fell into the vast sea forever.
A few days later.
Tang Xiu said goodbye to his mother and followed Chen Zhizhong to Changbai Mountain.
The Changbai Mountains are the source of the Yalu River, Songhua River and Tumen River. The total area of the region is 1,964 square kilometers, with a core area of 758 square meters. The highest peak of the Changbai Mountains is General Peak in North Korea, with an altitude of 2,749 meters. The place Tang Xiu visited this time was the highest peak in China, with the northeastern peak reaching an altitude of 2,691 meters.
Before Tang Xiu came here, he thought that the data recorded in the books were correct, and he also had some understanding of the Changbai Mountains through the map. But when he entered the Changbai Mountains, he realized that he was completely wrong, because the terrain in the Changbai Mountains was complex and the mountains were steep. There are many areas where naturally formed formations exist.
"interesting."
Halfway up a main peak, Tang Xiu had a smile on his handsome face. Looking at the formation in front of him, he could easily tell that this was not a naturally formed Feng Shui formation, but someone had set up a Feng Shui formation here. After research, he completely understood this formation.
"Master, do you have any questions?"
In the past few days, under Tang Xiu's guidance, Chen Zhizhong's cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, and even his state of mind has improved a lot. Although his cultivation realm is still in the early stage of foundation building, there are faint signs of breaking through to the middle stage of foundation building. At this moment, looking at the smile on Master Tang Xiu's face, he asked hurriedly.
Tang Xiu said: "There are many formations in the mountains, but although the naturally formed Feng Shui formation is very powerful, it contains less mystery. But the formation in front of us is different. It was arranged by someone. , and covers a large area of the mountain environment. Ordinary people have no way to enter this large formation, let alone the existence of a Feng Shui formation here. It seems that the Changbai Mountains are much larger than we know! "
Chen Zhizhong didn't understand what Tang Xiu said, but he didn't break the casserole and ask the truth. The reason why he brought Tang Xiu to Changbai Mountain this time was because of the cave that he couldn't open.
"Master, what should we do next?"
Tang Xiu said: "Bypass this area, let's go to the cave first! There are rare and precious ores like Blood Soul, and there are a lot of them. I think there are better things in the cave. . However, your strength is too weak, so you must pay attention to safety."
Chen Zhizhong said: "Master, I will pay attention to safety. Let's climb over this mountain, and the cave is in the snow mountain behind. A few days ago, when I led people there, I found that it was snowing over there, and the mountain road It’s even harder to walk.”
Tang Xiu smiled slightly, reached out to grab Chen Zhizhong's shoulders, and rose into the air. In just half a minute, he had climbed over the mountain. Behind him, Tang Twenty-eight and the four companions he selected followed him as fast as lightning.
"Amazing!"
What Chen Zhizhong lamented was not Tang Xiu's ability, but the strength of Tang's twenty-eighty-five people. He was already in his forties or fifties, and his cultivation was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, but he found that Tang Twenty-Eight had already reached the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, and even the other four children were in the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
"where?"
Tang Xiu stepped on the void, letting the wind and snow blow past him, and asked.
Chen Zhizhong observed for a while, pointed to the snow-capped peaks in the distance, and said: "Master, have you seen the valley over there? The cave is halfway up the valley. At your flying speed, it only takes half a minute at most. You can get to the entrance of the cave."
Tang Xiu's spiritual consciousness was released continuously. After flying in the direction pointed by Chen Zhizhong, he quickly found the entrance of the cave easily.
"Array?"
The moment Tang Xiu stepped on the ground, his expression suddenly changed. Covered by his consciousness, he easily attracted two blood soul stones the size of his little finger, holding them in his hands to play with. Formation was what he was good at, but he did not rush to study the formation in front of him, but carefully searched for it nearby.
Blood Soul Stone.
The ore that can store the soul of a monk is considered a very rare carrier. In addition, the blood soul stone can also be used to refine and extract the essence of blood inside. It is also a very good material for refining elixirs. Likewise, it can even be used in weapon refining.
After a while.
Tang Xiu returned to the cave entrance with some disappointment. After searching, he only found the two blood soul stones, and there were no other good things around.
"Study the formation."
Tang Xiu sat cross-legged outside the entrance of the cave, studying the formation that sealed the cave door like a cocoon. After a short period of understanding, he figured out the principle of this formation, and he was confident that he could easily break it.
